BOWLING GREEN, KENTUCKY, April 24, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com)  Campus police stood by as students placed condoms over thousands of tiny crosses as part of an approved university art project, according to a pro-life student at Western Kentucky University. The campus group Hilltoppers for Life obtained university permission to erect 3,700 crosses, commemorating the number of babies aborted each day in America, as part of its Cemetery of the Innocents.

John Sohl, the organizations president, said he confronted two vandals early Friday morning with his video camera. One of them told me at the beginning of this that she did have her teachers permission to do this, this was her art project, Sohl said.

When he told the pair their actions may constitute vandalism, the woman complained, I think its kinda weird that youre allowed to express yourself, and Im not.

I would have also exercised my right to free speech via the back of my hand on her face!

That's not very PC. I would have calmly followed behind her and removed her "art". Then I would have recorded the violence that was perpetrated on you and condoned by her teacher on camera. I would have filed charges against her, her friends and the teacher for encouraging a hate crime against Christians.

Beat them at their own game. Don't emulate them. But I understand your frustration and enthusiasm.

This will cheer you up a little. It’s something someone e-mailed sci-fi writer John C. Wright concerning the matter earlier on in the month, and he put it up on his blog. It is pretty funny and awesome, especially the remarks/replies of “Officer Comedian” to the apprehended vandals.

As long as your insulting and desecrating Christians and their symbols people tend to look the other way.

Liberals are too cowardly to attack a Koran. Most pick on targets that won't fight back. Heads up student, Christianity doesn't allow killing babies or same gender sex but if you aren't careful you will be praying 50 times a day facing Mecca, wearing cloth from head to toe, denied your schooling, possible future rape and all kind of nice things your muslim buddies will have in store for you. Oh, and if that happens, try burning/spitting on/ defacing the Koran - just try - make my day.

(Nominal) Christians aren't the only ones aborting babies. Perhaps if some of the crosses in these displays were replaced with symbols of other religions -- like those "Coexist" bumper stickers -- they would be left alone. At least those with a crescent and star would probably remain unscathed by the cowardly vandals.

Yeah, I would love to see them try that! I won’t hold my breath though.

I was thinking about this, and I have come to the conclusion that every single “art” exhibit approved by the campus including “pro choice” displays can be tampered with in the name of art right/ After all, that’s only fair!

“Coexist” - brought to you by CAIR.
Islam encourages the facade of the “friendly Muslim” when their numbers are such that they can’t force Sharia on the rest of society.

On a related note, if you happen to see someone coming or going from a car with this sticker on it, make a show of staring at it and say “well I’ll be... I never saw the hidden message between the letters before” and walk away.

Actually, free speech is probably the best way to take care of this problem. That is, the woman was probably thrilled with a *little* publicity about her actions. How would she feel with a *lot* of publicity about her actions?

Publicity is like salting your food. A little is good, but too much can make the food inedible.

In this, the Internet could prove invaluable, especially the “extremely bad taste” part of the Internet.

In particular, I am thinking of a website where all posters are anonymous, which is actually the birthplace of the “Anonymous” group. Not an organization, really, but an ad hoc collective with the sensibilities of “the mob”.

This website is called 4chan. It reminds me of the poem by Vachel Lindsay, in which he wrote: “Then along that river-bank/A thousand miles/Tattooed cannibals danced in files.”

Well, in any event, all posters to 4chan are anonymous.

But every now and then, somebody foolishly posts their picture there, then either ill-advisedly asks a question that offends, or tries to insult this collective of heinous hyenas.

And 4chan is truly impressive in their ability to track down and mess with people who do this, with little more to go on than a photograph (and their IP number, so DO NOT use your own computer). And they are brutish beasts when they take against someone.

How exactly to offend 4chan is a good question, but there are examples to go by. And the irony of 4chan attacking someone they would probably agree with were they to know the truth, is delicious.

Yet if this is successful, this student would likely never, ever mess around with pro-life people again, and might even try to avoid using the Internet ever again. A great example for those like her.

The *best* thing that could happen to her is to be turned into a nasty Internet meme, plastered all over the place with a stupid caption.
